Preparation Time: 30 minutes

10 cups (80 oz) water

1 lb egg noodles

1 Tbsp olive oil

3 cups bean sprouts

1 cup bamboo shoots, julienned

½ cup carrots, shredded

½ cup dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked, stems removed, and julienned

2 green onions, julienned

½ tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil on high heat. Cook noodles in boiling water until tender (approximately 5-7 minutes), drain and set aside. Heat a non-stick wok or pan over high heat. Add 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, swirling to coat the pan, add noodles and pan-fry until noodles are golden (about 7-10 minutes). Remove noodles from wok. Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil to wok, add vegetables, and stir-fry until just cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Return noodles to the wok, add salt, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and serve.
